Stork. Requests:  1 Summary:  Channeling their own experiences, sixteen exceptional authors subvert mental health stereotypes in a powerful and uplifting collection of fiction. A teen activist wrestles with protest-related anxiety and PTSD. A socially anxious vampire learns he has to save his town by (gulp) working with people. As part of her teshuvah, a girl writes letters to the ex-boyfriend she still loves, revealing that her struggle with angry outbursts is related to PMDD. A boy sheds uncontrollable tears but finds that in doing so he's helping to enable another's healing. In this inspiring, unflinching, and hope-filled mixed-genre collection, sixteen diverse and notable authors draw on their own lived experiences with mental health conditions to create stunning works of fiction that will uplift and empower you, break your heart and stitch it back together stronger than before. Through powerful prose, verse, and graphics, the characters in this anthology defy stereotypes as they remind readers that living with a mental health condition doesn't mean that you're defined by it. Each story is followed by a note from its author to the reader, and comprehensive back matter includes bios for the contributors as well as a collection of relevant resources.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- New Books 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Absolutely Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library YA -- Fiction Ab(solutely) Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- New Books 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 813.01083 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
